Opsite Post-Op Dressing

Key features:

• Opsite dressings offer: Barrier to bacteria including MRSA
• Reduce the risk of maceration & reduce the risk of blistering
• Reduce pain on removal & Waterproof conformable and comfortable to wear
• Easy to apply and remove aseptically

 Product description:

The OPSITE Post-Op dressings combine the features of the current OPSITE Post-Op dressings with the high MVTR REACTIC hydrophilic polyurethane film used to manufacture OPSITE IV3000 Transparent Adhesive Film Dressings. The patented REACTIC film is 3 to 8 times more permeable to water vapor than standard film dressings.

It can "switch" in the presence of moisture allowing excess moisture to transpire off.

Benefits:

• Waterproof The OPSITE Post-Op film is impermeable to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to shower without changing dressings.
• Bacterial Barrier The OPSITE Post-Op film provides a bacterial barrier, helping to reduce the risk of secondary infection.
• High MVTR OPSITE Post-Op has a unique molecular structure that 'switches on' in the presence of moisture, preventing accumulation of moisture underneath the dressing, which reduces bacterial growth and the risk of maceration.
• Transparent Film:The clear film allows the user to monitor the level of fluid and check for infection without removing the dressing, thus increasing wear time.
• Absorbent, Low-adherent Pad -The thick pad is highly absorbent, minimising the number of dressing changes whilst protecting the wound from further injury.
• The low-adherent wound contact layer leaves the wound site clean and comfortable, reducing pain when changing the dressing.
• Conformable OPSITE Post-Op is highly conformable, even over the most awkward body contours.
• Its extensibility does not restrict movement, ensuring that it is comfortable for the patient. The unique dressing carrier keeps the film firm, allowing easy application.

Indications:

To dress post-operative wounds, minor cuts, abrasions, lacerations and puncture sites where a waterproof dressing, which aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination, is required.
